Hmmmm... look to setting something like in your own .vimrc file
set matchpairs=(:),{:},[:],<:>
You may wish to wrap this inside a test for syntax
syn=html
or some such hook to keep the change only for html files.
More '%' stuff is setup in matchit.
In vim type
:help matchit
I see this hint in /usr/share/vim/vim62/macros/matchit.txt
"In Vim, as in plain vi, the percent key, |%|, jumps the cursor from a
brace, bracket, or paren to its match. This can be configured with
the 'matchpairs' option. The matchit plugin extends this in several
ways:..."
AND....
"Examples:
Suppose you
:let b:match_words = '<:>,<tag>:</tag>'
and hit "%" with the cursor on or before the "<" in "a <tag> is
born". The pattern '<' comes first, so it is preferred over
'<tag>', which also matches. If the cursor is on the "t",
however, then '<tag>' is preferred, because this matches a bit
of text containing the cursor. If the two groups of patterns
were reversed then '<' would never be preferred.
